Wish Beans

         monsoon rain
         a magic mojo sprouts
         in the hemp carry bag

twenty thousand feet

this spilled wax
how fast
hardens into place

over sea level

         jungle gym
         endemic primates swing
         from tree to tree

. . . . .

longer days —
waiting for the sunset
on hydrangeas

            — Mauro Battini, Italy

blue bye byes . . .
the color of
forget-me-nots
